Esprit Financial Group Inc. (Esprit) (EFGO.PK) Announces Prepaid Branded Stored Value Card Program for Cruise Line

LAS VEGAS, May 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Esprit Financial Group Inc. (ESPRIT) (EFGO.PK) www.espritfinancialgroup.com announced today that its first credit card branded stored-value debit card program has been secured to service a major cruise line's employees on an international basis. The cruise line will begin dispersing payroll using the Company's stored-value debit cards to its crew members.

Currently, like most international shipping vessels, sailors are paid in cash - typically U.S. dollars - in International Waters. During shore leave, crew members are often required to pay exorbitant amounts to change their U.S. dollars into local currency at merchants in close proximity to their ship, making purchases very expensive. Normal banking activities most people take for granted are also problematic, as transferring funds to family members internationally is expensive and cumbersome.

Esprit, in conjunction with its strategic partners, offers an effective alternative that will greatly benefit crew members. The cruise ship company will load cash value onto a branded stored value debit card. The card will be accepted wherever MasterCard credit cards are accepted. Additionally, funds can be transferred internationally to family members easily via card to card transfers.

These stored-value debit cards look like a typical MasterCard, and benefit from the universal acceptance provided by a major credit card. However, they carry only the stored-value of cash that has been loaded onto the card by the cruise line. There is no credit agreement or monthly billing. The dollar value available is stored on the card, and is depleted as purchases are made. These cards will be accepted at nearly every international destination.

Jack Chang, head of Esprit's Advanced Electronic Funds Management (AEFM) division, noted, 'This first contract represents an excellent beginning for our merchant marine stored debit card program. Modern cruise ships often have more crew members than passengers, and the largest ships can accommodate over 3,000 passengers. With several hundred cruise ships worldwide, this represents an attractive market for Esprit'.

Chang added, 'More importantly, our stored value debit cards represent an ideal solution for the merchant marine market in general. Sailors on cargo ships face the same dilemma as those on cruise ships. According to the 2005 CIA World Factbook, the world total number of large merchant ships (1,000 Gross Register Tons) is over 30,000. This represents a very significant market sector where we will enjoy a 'first mover' advantage.'

Esprit's AEFM division will also be pursuing market opportunities in other sectors where its payroll debit card solution can be of benefit. Examples include many manufacturing operations with hourly or casual workers, as well as the agricultural sector where migrant workers are employed.
